5600 South (SR-97) Corridor & UPRR Area
Crews are finishing up wall construction at the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) where traffic has also been shifted to accommodate ongoing work. Between 2700 West and 3500 West, fine grading has been completed and crews are also finishing up flatwork, which involves pouring and smoothing concrete surfaces such as sidewalks, curbs, and driveways.
Roadway striping will begin this week and continue through next week. Once complete, lanes will be finalized and prepared for future travel. Drivers can expect light delays through the corridor during these activities.

Pedestrian Safe Walking Routes
Safe walking routes were updated to include the activated HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalk) light at 2100 West along 5600 South. Drivers: Slow down and be aware of the designated safe walking routes along 5600 South. Stay alert, watch for students and pedestrians in the area.
Pedestrian Safety
Prioritize pedestrian safety while navigating through our work zones. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Stay Alert – always be aware of your surroundings. Look out for construction signs, workers, and potential hazards
- Use Designated Pathways – these paths are designated to keep you safe from construction activities
- Avoid Distractions – Refrain from using your phone or wearing headphones while walking through construction areas
- Wear Visible Clothing – Wear bright or reflective clothing, this can help ensure your seen by workers and drivers
Let's work together to keep everyone safe!
Ongoing Work
5600 Corridor
Work is progressing along the 5600 South corridor as crews complete curb, gutter, and driveway tie-ins. Coordination with property owners will continue throughout this phase of construction. Occasional road closures may be necessary to while crews pour and finish concrete surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and curbing.
Current Street Closures:
- 2000 West (North Side) – Closed in late September. – through mid-November*
Drivers use alternate routes and expect minor delays.

I-15 Median Structure
Crews are continuing work on the I-15 southbound and northbound median that includes drilling sign foundations. Sign structure installation work is scheduled to be completed in early November.
Crews completed preparation activities to install the new bridge girders over the UPRR bridge.
I-15 Mainline (Median)
Crews are continuing work on the I-15 northbound median structure, where they have completed an asphalt pour and are forming the barrier. Drainage improvements along I-15 northbound mainline are scheduled to begin next week. Drivers should expect minimal to moderate delays during peak hours around the interchange.

Freeway Park Dr. and Riverdale Rd.

I-15 NB Off-Ramp and Riverdale Rd. Access – Exit 338
Earlier this summer, the I-15 northbound off-ramp at Exit 338 (exit 338B) shifted onto the new overpass, which will provide direct access to Riverdale Rd.
What to Expect:
- A new traffic pattern over the completed overpass
- Updated overhead signage
- New lane markings
- Adjusted traffic flow into Riverdale
- Drivers, be alert for changes in overhead signage, lane markings and traffic flow.
Improved Flow and Faster Access
This new traffic pattern is designed to improve traffic flow through the area. By shifting the off-ramp onto the new overpass, drivers will no longer need to stop at the previous ramp intersection, reducing congestion and travel delays. The direct connection to Riverdale Rd. allows for smoother, more efficient movement of vehicles–resulting in a safer and more streamlined driving experience.
